I checked GameGPU and it turned out that the picture is from a thread posted on the 19th, which means that the tests most certainly were carried out on the 18th, or prior to that. TotalBiscuit did say that several, small patches were released very, very late; just a couple of days before release, so I think it's safe to assume that we're right about the cause of those dreadful FPS figures.

The release-version has been working terrific. TB did say that there are a few, small areas that are very heavy on the GPU (because of the nature of those areas; not because of bugs/bad optimization), but I havn't experienced any noticeable FPS drops anywhere at all.

I'm certainly not there. Graphics programming exam coming up on Monday, been handing in assignments today and doing a presentation to top it off. So if I was to go there, I'd have to travel god knows how far using a rented car...
